Happy National S'mores Day!

If you didn't know, now you do. Today, Aug. 10, is National S'mores Day, and I'd like to profess my love for the gooey campfire treat.

I've found many variations rise from the graham cracker, chocolate and marshmallow treat. Pam Kragen
wrote about local restaurants
that have s'mores desserts.

As for me, I've had the Les' Smore from
Urban Solace
(
Solace's
sister restaurant in North Park) and the S'more cupcake from
Sprinkles
(it's only available until Sept. 3, so head to La Jolla and pick one up). I know, not a big dent in that list, so I should probably try the others on that list ---- for research, of course.

My most recent s'mores experience came in the kitchen. Through a friends' Pinterest board, I found a
recipe for a s'mores cookie bar
. And it was amazingly delicious and awesome.

So, to celebrate National S'mores Day, I just bake up another batch of these bars and toast one of my favorite desserts.
